We're Not Fine
With 50 years of combined clinical expertise and 20 years of best friendship, Doug & Dr Talia are passionately making conversations about Mental Health and Relationships accessible to all.
These two therapists clearly know their stuff, but they are so entertaining. It is a fascinating and funny listen. I learn new things about relationships and mental health each time.
